Scanned PDF Images show up black in ScreenSaver Mode

In the past I've scanned random images, converting them to PDF files and adding them to a folder of photos to be used as a screensaver on my Mac, but the latest batch (on a new iMac, operating Mac OS X, v. 10.5.4 w/a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM memory), scanned using Adobe Reader v. 9, now show up solid black rather than the scanned image. For instance, older PDF files and JPEG photos show up, but the latest images, when cross-faded between the older ones, are displayed as solid black rather than the new image. The image appears when I open each document individually (so I know they were scanned correctly)...just not when accessed by the screensaver. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
Thank you!
Regards,
J. R.

What colour profile are these pics? Greyscale? iPhoto supports RGB, which is what cameras shoot in. Convert the pics to RGB and they will will display correctly.
You can change the Colour Profile of a photo in the Tools menu in Preview.

  • HT3529 Message Notifications show up in lock mode when screen is on, but not showing on black screen (sleep mode).

    My texts show up on my lock screen, but not on my black screen (sleep mode).  They used to, but not anymore.  I have "show messages in lock screen" turned on, but I don't see any options for sleep mode.  I have banners turned on.  All settings seem to be correct, but in order to see my messages I need to turn on my screen, which is frustrating b/c then I don't see messages when they are first sent.  Any advice?  Thanks.

    Thanks for the response, but I've tried that and it doesn't work.  I have friends and family who have their settings exactly the same as mine (including banner) and they get notifications in their sleep screen.  It's all very odd.

  • Scanned pdf image into Illustrator (Live Tracing,filling colors and styles)

    Hi,
    I am a newbie in the forum.My first ever post. I have specific issue which needs your opinion. I have scanned a black and white sketch image which I bring on to Illustrator. The problem start after live tracing.
    After live tracing I need to fill it with a certain color (which I find absent in swatches).
    I have to update these sketches into an Indesign brochure which already has the original imported Illustrator sketches (done by some one else). So the original imported Illustrator sketch files have a color filled in and particular chalk like impression (style).
    So the problem is that I do not know how to fill the live traced sketch outlines with a color and then bring in a chalk like style to it.
    I need assistance badly..I have hit a bad road block.
    Thank you.

    I have never used the live paint feature, sorry.
    I typically always create everything with the pen tool, and some basic shapes, I draw a shape and then fill it with a color, gradient, or a stroke. This can see limiting at first not using a lot of filters but in the long run the precision control is worth it. I design entire websites this way, for example these are two sites I am currently working on….

    Hi..
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    /Library/Internet Plug-Ins
    Click Go
    Move the Adobe PDF browser plugin from the Internet Plug-Ins folder to the Trash.
    Assuming you are using Safari...  quit then relaunch Safari to test.

  • Raw Photos Showing as Black Blanks

    When I upload my RAW + JPG photos, the RAW images show as black blanks next to the regular JPG images. Even when I click on them to look only at them, they remain black blanks. This is the first time I've done this and I cannot figure out what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Apologies if it is something obvious.
    I have Aperture 3 and Version 10.5.8 on my computer.
    Many thanks.

    Most likely would be that particular version of Aperture does not support the RAW images from that particular camera. Make sure you have the latest updates and if that does not work check your camera against the website and/or call 1-800-SOS-APPL.
    Good luck!

  • PDF documents show black pages or black images

    Why do some PDF documents show black pages or black images when opened in Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro?

    On my regular tablet I have 9.4.5 and have not had problems as you describe. I am sorry that I can not play with that version this week as I do not have that machine available. For others that might be able to check the problem out, it might be useful if you post a sample page of your PDF for others to look at. Just enough that demonstrates the point. If you cannot do it with a page from the document you have, if it would be possible to post something similar to get at the point. If you are successful in creating a problem page, then it might be easier to figure out the problem.

    Hi rdfnra,
    Please check the Page Display preferences (File > Preferences/Acrobat > Preferences) and make sure that Show Large Images is selected. If sounds as though this PDF may have been created from a scanned document, and this preference is disabled.
    Please let us know how it goes.

  • PDF exporting with thin black lines around some images

    Hi there,
    I have spent A LOT of time making a custom SAVE THE DATE card and I cannot find a solution to this problem. When I am working in the document, I do not see thin borders around any of the images but when I export to PDF they show up. I have NO BORDERS selected for all images in the document and cannot figure out why they keep showing up after export. 
    I have attached a screen grab of what the document looks like when I am working on it, and another one of what it looks like after export. I am using Pages 5.2.2 and OS X version 10.9.5
    I need to order these SAVE THE DATES by tomorrow to take advantage of the 60% off! Thanks so much for your help!

    I am seeing this same problem in a family newsletter I've created.  The lines do not show up in Pages, but when I export to pdf (or print to pdf), the lines appear.  When I print the document, no lines appear.
    Here's what the top of the newsletter looks like - the black lines show up on all the pages, and in the beige-covered overlay, crosshatching is visible.   The template I'm using was in existence two years ago, but doesn't seem to exist in Pages anymore.  Would that have anything to do with the lines showing up?
    I also found this link, but can't apply any of the suggested fixes, since they apply to Adobe:  <http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/thin-white-dark-lines-stitching.html>.

  • Duotone image showing as B&W in PDF

    I have been working on a series of brochures, have created 5 so far, each with a duotone image. They would always be in color when viewing the whole document in Acrobat.
    Today, I'm working on the last brochure, and somehow that duotone image is showing in black and white in Acrobat. Any clue why?
    I worked from a jpeg, converted to Grayscale, then to Duotone with a CMYK value (100-75-10-0) and white. Seems like it worked fine before. I'm attaching an image which shows the previous brochure in PDF, and to the left, the current one with the issue.
    Thanks for any advice.

    Have you verified in Acrobat's ink manager that its actualyl seeing your custom channels/ plates? If not, that could be the problem and you need to find out why your custom color is lost...

  • Hp officejet pro 8610 prints solid black on scanned pdf and word doc pictures

    -HP Officejet Pro 8610
    -problem printing scanned pdf document and word doc. photos
    -My new HP Officejet Pro 8610 printed a newly scanned pdf document as an all black picture. I then printed a saved word documtent from my iMac which included a small picture. The document print was acceptable, but the picture was solid black. There were no error messages. These were, my initial tests, to check this new printer.

    Hey there @TM-10 
    Welcome to the Community
    I read through your post about your new Officejet 8610 scanning a document to your computer and printing out all black. I have a couple ideas for you to try.
    Try the steps in this guide: Unexpected Scan Output Using HP Scan Application for HP Multifunction Printers When Using OS X v10.9...
    Press the Power button to turn on the product.
    With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
    Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
    Wait at least 15 seconds.
    Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
    Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
    If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
    Ensure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power and may help.
    Good luck

  • Gif image shows only in black and white

    Hello...
    I'm trying to convert normal image to PlanarImage but the PlanarImage will show only black & white image in the applet. My guess is that it has something to do with bands but I can't figure out how to solve the problem.
    Here is the code what I'm trying to use in applet's init method
    public void init(){
         Image my_gif;
         URL base;
         MediaTracker mt;
         mt = new MediaTracker(this);
         try {       
              base = getCodeBase();
         catch (Exception e) {}
         my_gif = getImage(base,"image.gif");
         mt.addImage(my_gif,1);
         try {
         mt.waitForAll();
         catch (InterruptedException e) {}
         int imageHeight = my_gif.getHeight(this);
         int imageWidth = my_gif.getWidth(this);
         int numBands = 3;
         int len = imageHeight * imageWidth * numBands;
         byte[] imageData = null;
         PixelGrabber pixeli = new PixelGrabber(my_gif, 0, 0, imageWidth, imageHeight,false);
         SeekableStream ss = null;
         try {             
              pixeli.grabPixels();
              imageData = (byte[])pixeli.getPixels();
         } catch (InterruptedException e2) {
              e2.printStackTrace();
         ColorModel cm = pixeli.getColorModel();
         SampleModel sm = cm.createCompatibleSampleModel(imageWidth,imageHeight);
         TiledImage tiledImage = new TiledImage(new Point(),sm,imageWidth,imageHeight);
         DataBufferByte dbb = new DataBufferByte(imageData,len);
         Raster raster = RasterFactory.createWritableRaster(sm,dbb,new Point());
         tiledImage.setData(raster);
         PlanarImage image = (PlanarImage)tiledImage;

    Go to Settings>General>Accessibility and turn off White on Black.

    I have Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 plus I create PDF files for work some are scan pdf docs. When I install Photoshop Elements 10 it DOES convert all the PDF files to Photoshop Elements-10 Docs. it even changes and shows the PSE-10 Icon. So I am alway installing PSE-10 or uninstalling it. If I send the  PDF file that has been automatically converted to a PSE-10 the person I send the file to can not open it because they do not have PSE-10. What can I do to stop PSE-10 from converting my PDF files? Don't tell me to upgrade PSE-10 I tried their on-line program and  it is too advance for a hobby photographer like myself and their Help Desk is impossible to reach.

  • My images in Photoshop CS5 show up black.?

    I think it's CTRL, ALT, SHift when starting PS and that will brinf up a prompt box.

  • Can't save or send a scanned image from mac using OS X 10.9.4 image is completely black

    I've recently updated my MacBook pro to  OS X 10.9.4 and I can no longer scan and save images from my HP printer  I have HP photosmate premium C310.  When scanning the image will appear on the screen but once saved or emailed it is just black.   Any ideas as to why?  All the current updates have been made to my limited technical knowledge, but I did just run a check and it seems updated.

    Hi,
    Follow the workaround below to scan using Image Capture or Preview. the HP Scan application is not available for your printer for 10.9:
